for reference:
I try:
conf.d/10-mail.conf
mail_plugins { acl = yes notify = yes quota = yes fts = no fts_flatcurve = no }
conf.d/90-fts.conf
fts_autoindex = yes fts flatcurve {
}
And I installed xapian-tools and xapian-omega.
dovecot runs OK, but I am unsure if the fts works, when looking at debug-logs.
thanks!
In debian there are 2 packages:
dovecot-flatcurve
dovecot-fts-xapian
Right now I have fts_xapian running and creating indexes.
Although I don't know if flatcurve would be better ...
I run
mail_plugins { acl = yes quota = yes fts = yes fts_flatcurve = no fts_xapian = yes }
unsure how to proceed ;-)
You need to configure fts and then enable flatcurve, as it uses dovecot libfts.

been there, sure ;-)
on the 2nd server I have it running now, thanks
I assume that "searching on the server" from (for example) thunderbird will benefit from that?

will benefit from that?Correct. It speeds up also searches against headers etc.
